This projection is organized for Saint Paul University. The original French version of the movie lasts one and a half hours. Mr. Émond will be on site to interact with the public after the projection of his movie.     

Saint Paul University wishes to honour the work of Bernard Émond whose favourite themes are: human dignity and fragility as well as the lack of cultural references. The movies La Neuvaine (2005), Contre toute espérance (2006) and La Donation (2009) complete the trilogy of this director which addresses the three theological virtues. On Sunday April 18 at 2:15 p.m., at Sacré-Cœur Church (591 Cumberland Street, Ottawa) Mr. Émond will receive an honorary degree during the ceremony marking the closing of the academic year.

The presentations will take place in French.
Attendees are welcome to participate in the discussions in French or in English.

Currently, bottled water is one of the best selling beverage on campus, even though it is usually just tap water in a bottle, sold at an inflated price. While some may find it more convenient to purchase bottled water rather then fill a re-usable bottle at a fountain, it’s important to be aware of the consequences that are associated with the product, the environmental impact and risks. The bottled water industry is less regulated than municipal water systems, consumes more energy and releases more harmful toxins into the environment than tap water.

Make a difference by using a refillable water bottle and by filling it at the nearest fountain or tap.

Ethics Centre Conferences present
The baby boomers’s culture: Leading to alienation or isolation?
by Patricia Marsden-Dole, Ph.D. candidate in the Faculty of Theology at Saint Paul University
Thursday, February 11, 5:00 p.m. - 6:30 p.m.
Atrium, Saint Paul University
Conference in English only. A period of questions-answers in both languages will follow.

In the context of our theme this year “Ministry at the Service of Building Christian Community” we will explore the connections between ministry and the building of mature Christian Community, the relationships between ourselves and others who share in pastoral leadership with us, links between ourselves and the theological, missionary, psychological and cultural dimensions of our theme.

We will have presentations, panel discussions, open conversations, case studies and other events to help us engage with our theme. This is a wonderful way to honour this ‘Year of the Priest’ as we deepen our understanding of this essential dimension of pastoral ministry.
